  • The best ebook reader

    I have pretty much tried them all and this is the best. First off, you can adjust your page to exactly where you want it and make it the default so every book opens that way. Also, when you read in landscape mode each page is numbered (as opposed to Apple’s reader which assigns one number to both pages.) The bookmarks are easy to add and delete, the page turn animation is cool, and I appreciate the ease at which you can find and add books. I’d stop your search for an ebook reader right here.

  • So close!

    Two flaws for my process and needs: First, and relatively minor, it doesn't adjust a cover image to fit, resulting in part of the image being cut off at the bottom. (The image is fine in my usual and perfect ereader, Marvin. (But Marvin isn't in the App Store anymore so I have to find possible replacements.)) Fatal flaw: does not have true author sort, where the list becomes a list of authors and one taps an author to see all five billion of their short stories. (I subscribe to an author's Patreon; I have a lot of short stories which need to have covers, and need to not fill up the space when scrolling around. I also get fanfic epubs from AO3; I don't want to scroll through 50 fics from a prolific author when I'm looking for something!) I'll leave it on my phone and see if it updates to something I can use, but also I'm gonna keep looking.

  • A promising app with its clunky aspects…

    Pros:
    -It allows for books to be organized into collections—should be basic for ebook apps, but sadly isn’t….
    -Page movement animations are enjoyable without being showy/distracting.
    Cons:
    -You can’t transfer multiple ebook files from the Files app at once, which makes for tedious transfers of books, one at a time.
    -Every time you transfer books to the app, it posts an annoying popup that asks if you want to read the book, which only slows down the transferring of books that much more.
    -You can’t transfer books directly to the in-app collection that you have open, but they instead transfer to the main page, which means more tedious moving of books.
    -Limited settings options compared to other ebook apps. I like the app, but it’s pretty clear the developer hasn’t done the due-diligence and tried to use the app themselves in a practical way, as if they did they’d notice these annoyances and do something about them.

  • One bug ruins the entire app

    There’s a bug where sometimes when I try to scroll or move a page on a pdf, it will automatically recenter the pdf back to the top after I let go making it impossible for me to read it. This happens randomly, and closing and reopening the app doesn’t help. This app would be perfect if not for this bug.

  • Trust me

    All the customizations you need!!! Been searching many apps and I’m settled for this one.
  • App crashes with Dropbox

    Ipad air 2 16gb version

    When I try to find a book in certain Dropbox folders it crashes, and won't restart even after uninstalling. I have to uninstall for a long time then it works again until I accidentally try to access the wrong folder ( i deleted that specific folder this time)

    I cant report the bug because apple doesn't seem to acknowledge my purchase on that screen (i paid for the full version and it let's be restore just fine though)

    Went to the website to find an email and it's directing me to the app, which i can't open. So hoping you guys will see this instead.

  • Night Mode Doesn't Work

    Used this reader happily for several years. Suddenly an update and night mode speed working. No longer usable at night. 👎
  • A great reader app

    Customization is great, the ability to sort your library is killer for me (both sort and group). The only reason it isn't 5 stars is the latest ios update seems to have broken the text highlighting feature as well as dark/night mode. Otherwise this is the best ereader app on the app store
